Coronado Foothills Estates Homes for Sale — Tucson, AZ

A 500-lot foothills subdivision in unincorporated Pima County, laid out on the bajada directly below the Santa Catalina Mountains and bounded by East Skyline Drive on the south, North Swan Road on the east, North Alvernon Way on the west, and Coronado National Forest land on the north. The subdivision dates to 1965 and was built out in six phases, each recorded with its own set of deed restrictions; the sets are closely similar but not identical, so which phase a lot sits in determines the rules that run with it. The Coronado Foothills Homeowners Association formed in 1971 to administer them, and its design review committee works with the association's architect to review construction and remodeling plans against the restrictions for that phase. Association dues are published at $125 a year. What the association funds is open space and shared services rather than staffed recreation: an 11-acre Pima County wilderness park sits inside the subdivision, and the dues cover items such as a yearly dumpster for vegetation clippings and permanent dog-waste stations. Trail access is the defining amenity — the Richard McKee Finger Rock Trailhead sits at the north end of Alvernon Way with a 35-vehicle lot serving Finger Rock Trail #42, Pontatoc Trail #410, and the Pontatoc Ridge Trail up into the Pusch Ridge Wilderness. The housing stock is custom-built rather than tract, predominantly territorial and contemporary Southwestern designs, most of it dating from the late 1960s through the 1990s with an average build year around 1975 and newer custom infill and whole-house renovations since; floor plans run from roughly 1,950 to 6,450 square feet and average close to 3,000. The ground rises steadily toward the mountain front, so the northern streets sit well above the valley floor and carry long city and mountain views. The subdivision carries a Tucson mailing address in ZIP 85718 and is served by Catalina Foothills USD. La Encantada at Skyline and Campbell is about two miles west along Skyline Drive, a Safeway-anchored center at Sunrise and Swan about a mile and a half south, Sabino Canyon Recreation Area roughly five miles east, Tucson Medical Center about five miles south, the University of Arizona campus about seven miles southwest, and downtown Tucson about nine miles southwest, with Interstate 10 roughly eight miles southwest by way of River Road or Grant Road. Historical resale pricing has run from about $400,000 for smaller original homes to well over $1.5 million for large renovated and view properties. Population is reported at roughly 1,050 residents across the subdivision's 500 lots. The original developer, the recording dates of the individual phases, and a typical lot size are not published in public sources, so they are left unstated here.
